With the rapid urbanization and mobility of farmers in China, some farmers are beginning to migrate to the cities. In addition, there is a phenomenon of so-called “outlawed” agriculture, where despite moving to the cities, they continue to cultivate public spaces such as lawns, green belts on roads, and vacant lots to grow vegetables for their own use. This study focused on the phenomenon of the “outlawed” agriculture in public spaces of in the center of the country. It was confirmed that even if some Chinese farmers left the land or their hometown, they would not leave the agriculture. This study clarified that they made an effort to continue cultivating vegetables with a traditional farming method, like actively maintaining the use of fertilizers of their acquaintances by utilizing their previous experience even if they move their living space to the city due to extrinsic factors. Farmers continue with agriculture because they reconstruct “agricultural connection” and reconfirm one's identity through the “outlawed” agriculture. This phenomenon is more likely to occur in county towns, because county towns are very close to rural area physically and psychologically.

This study investigated information gathering behavior and risk perception of PM2.5 issues in China through a questionnaire survey, and aimed to discuss the relationship between them. As a result, it was found that citizens access more to damage, measures, and current status of PM2.5 issues. Regarding the relationship between information gathering behavior and risk perception, the existence of indirect effects via subjective knowledge was verified in addition to direct effects. This study also found that trust in information sources suppressed the direct effects, and evaluation of communication effects promoted the forepart of indirect effects while suppressing the latter half part. Comparing information gathering behavior with the results of the analysis regarding media coverage, there showed a discrepancy, which is the result of individual choices of information. And this study revealed citizens’ autonomy in the structure of risk perception because of above-mentioned indirect effects and moderating effects of trust in information sources and evaluation of communication effects.

In China, facing various serious environmental problems, various entities headed by the government have formulated and implemented various environmental countermeasures. These environmental countermeasures have played an important role in responding to environmental problems, but many new problems have also arisen with the implementation of these countermeasures. We call these problems post-environmental problems. This paper takes the introduction of comprehensive biogas utilization systems in various pig farms in Z City as an example to discuss the post-environmental problems that are occurring in China. The comprehensive biogas utilization system of the pig farms effectively solved the problem of manure treatment, but there is the problem of waste of human resources, and there is also the risk of other environmental problems due to high altitude discharge of biogas. Through an abstract analysis of the entire process of implementing environmental countermeasures to deal with environmental problems, we believe that post-environmental problems are universal, and these problems are not easy to be discovered. More importantly, we cannot ignore these post-environmental issues because of the “rationality” of environmental countermeasures.
